27 March - Friday

10:00 - 10:30 The Role of Tricks and Algorithms in the Processes of Teaching and Learning: Conceptual understanding and procedural fluency.

• “Algorithms” by Bornemann, et. al. (2008). In Washington Mathematics. WSMC http://www.wsmc.net/pubs/WaMath/fall_2008/Algorithms.pdf
• "The Conceptual Chicken and the Procedural Egg" by Roberts (2010) in Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School. NCTM
• "Common Core Math Experts Say Teachers Need to Stop Using Shortcuts and Math Tricks." (The Hechinger Report)

Here are a couple of interesting alternative algorithms for everyday operations:

• "The Butterfly Method for Adding and Subtracting Fractions"
• "Russian Peasant Method of Multiplication

How might you use algorithms such as these in your efforts to increase conceptual understanding and procedural fluency?
